Sincerity Other Works The Collected Papers of Donald Meltzer [Paperback]

The author formulates here the existence of an anxiety apparatus whose functioning is a part of the ego and the personality structure and illustrates how in attacking this apparatus the ego is attacking itself. An example is given of the workings of the death instinct, and a differentiation is made between the ego's defence mechanisms and other pathological character devices.Editors Introduction -- Authors Preface -- Towards a structural concept of anxiety (1955) -- Note on a transient inhibition of chewing (1959) -- Lectures and seminars in Kleinian child psychiatry in collaboration with Esther Bick (1960) -- A contribution to the metapsychology of cyclothymic states (1963) -- The differentiation of somatic delusions from hypochondria (1963) -- The dual unconscious basis of materialism (1965) -- Return to the imperative: an ethical implication of psychoanalytic findings (1965) -- An interruption technique for the analytic impasse (1968) -- A note on analytic receptivity (1968) -- The relation of aims to methodology in the treatment of children (1968) -- Positive and negative forms (1970) -- Sincerity: a study in the atmosphere of human relations (1971) -- Towards an atelier system (1971) -- Routine and inspired interpretations: their relation to the weaning process in analysis (1973) -- Repression, forgetting, and unfaithfulness (1974) -- Narcissistic foundation of the erotic transference (1974) -- The role of pregential confusions in erotomania (1974) -- Adhesive identification (1974) -- Compulsive generosity (1975) -- The role of narcissistic organization in the communication difficulties of the schizophrenic (1975) -- Temperature and distance as technical dimensions of interpretation (1976) -- A psychoanalytic model of the child-in-the-family-in-the-community with Martha Harris (1976) -- Impressions concerning adolescent confusional states (1977) -- A note on introjective processes (1978) -- The diameter of the circle in Wilfred Bions work (1980) -- The rellc°
